Quick Curried Chicken

The inspiration for this comes from Cooking Light. The recipe was clipped from the magazine eleven years ago and filed it away in my recipe box, never to be heard from again. Last month, I cleaned out the box and organized the recipes into usable categories in a large expandable file. This one caught my attention since it could be made with the boneless skinless chicken breasts I had defrosted for taco night yesterday but didn't need-- the ground beef, chips and margaritas (adults only!) were plenty.

The original recipe came with a suggested couscous recipe which sounded great, but was soggy. If I figure out how to make it well, I'll update this. Until then, serve with brown rice and make liberal use of the coconut milky-sauce that's left after the chicken is cooked.

This chicken, coated with yellow curry powder, came out of the pan with
the most lovely golden brown color. The carrots were cooked tender-crisp and
not at all mushy; even my 'raw-carrots only' child ate them up.
